Looking at your log again, it looks like the event is from last November. Is this a pre-relase version of Windows Vista? (or was this PC upgraded from a pre-release version?). If this is a pre-release version, it has now expired, which is why you're not able to get connected.
If this is not a pre-release version, please clear the event log and attempt to add your Xbox again. After you do so, please post back the series of events you see in your log; e.g. at 11:15 I get event 501, at 11:15 I see event 400, at 11:16 I see event 500.. and so on until you hit 405 with error code -209.
Misc. other questions:
- Has this ever worked?
- Is your Media Center PC joined to a domain? (certain domain policies such as IPSec can prevent your Xbox from connecting to your PC)

Yes. I get a bubble message from OneCare that says "there is an action you should take." But the "action" is just backing up my files, which I did on another version of OneCare, so not required at this time. I thought OneCare might be part of the problem-- so I uninstalled it. But problem persisted.
Is there some way I can disable whatever it is that you think might be interfering, without uninstalling?

"Todd Bowra [MSFT]" <toddbow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:eLGMFdhhHHA.4296@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If you log into your PC as a normal user, do any windows/messages related to OneCare pop up?
The below event indicates that WinSSUI.exe is popping up in the Extender session and taking focus from Media Center, which is what's causing the session to be shut down.

So you're getting both error 10 and error 209?
Also, what is the date on your nForce driver? If it is before February
5, 2007, I suggest downloading the latest nForce driver package from
Nvidia's website.

Hi. Yep, I'm the same guy. (For some reason have been having trouble
with OE too, so I have been posting to group via OE and via web
communities.)
(Plus, for some reason, there is an "ignored" flag on this thread,
which I didn't put there, knowingly, anyway, so I thought perhaps
someone had determined this Q was a lost cause.)
To answer your question (and thanks for asking), I ran the ethernet
cable from the Xbox 360 straight into the back of the computer. It's
been a while now since I did that so I forget exactly what error I
got, but it didn't work. (I can try it again if u think I should,
but perhaps I didn't do it properly?)
I am obviously no expert but my detective work has found:
1) the Xbox and the PC connect very easily via the PC connection
2) the Xbox says it is connected to a Media Center PC (but then
can't find it)
3) the PC, on booting up, identifies that there is an Xbox on the
network and asks if I want to configure Extender. (So the PC and the
Xbox are obviously quite aware of the other's existence)
4) I get the "configuration error" as it attempts to install.

Actually, it doesn't need to be a cross-over cable. The Xbox
360 has one of those auto-sensing ethernet ports (Auto-MDI/MDIX
or whatever the 'technical' term is)

Just did that. Without router, Xbox can no longer obtain IP
address. No connection, it says. (Turned off OneCare for this
experiment, to shut down firewall. Makes no difference)
"Gary Tsang" <gtsangDELETE@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message

It could also be the router that is not passing on certain
packets that the Xbox 360 is using to communicate with the
Media Center PC.
Try connecting your computer directly to the Xbox 360. That
should help you isolate whether the router is indeed
interfering (if it does work, then it is the router, if it
doesn't work then it might be something else).

The IPv4 address in the Vista PC ends with an 11. The first
IP address in the Xbox ends with 10. Otherwise all the
numbers are the same.
This really has me stumped. I mean, I can use the Xbox's
connect to PC feature to listen to music stored on the PC.
But the superduper extender, which is supposed to be easier
(??) doesn't work. If the router was the problem, I would
have thought I would not be able to connect to the PC at
all. But I can. Xbox also connects easily thru router to
the net.
Not being an expert (obviously), this leads me to believe
it is a software problem. But that's as far as my detective
work goes.

You'd have to check the router's documentation to see
whether it supports multicast filtering. I'm not familiar
with that particular router.
As for the same subnet, click Start, Run and enter CMD and
press Enter. Then type in IPCONFIG and press Enter.
You'll see your PC's IP address in the list. Somewhere on
the Networking blade in the 360 you'll find its IP
address. The first 3 groups of numbers must be the same,
192.168.1.xxx, 192,168.2.xxx, 192.168.0.xxx..... What the
third nuber will be depends on the DHCP server settings of
your router (unless you're using static IP addressing).
But if you're using static addressing, you'd know where to
find this info.

2) done. several times. Doesn't make any difference.

1) Does the router support multicast filtering? If so,
if its on, turn it off. Power cycle the router and wait
for it to reboot. If its off, turn it on and power cycle
the router.
2) If the 360 was previously connect to an MCE 2005
machine, Go to the Network blade on the 360 and click on
Computers. Click on Media Center Computers then select
the connection and disconnect. Then I went back to Media
Center it found the Vista MCE and came up with the
number and downloaded some info and popped up right
away.
3) Others indicate there may be a problem with a
"certificate" for the Extender functionality.
Select Start -> Run "mmc"
Select File -> Add/Remove Snap-in
Add the "Certificates" snap-in
On the popup choose "Computer account" and hit next
Leave "Local computer" selected and hit finish
Select "OK" on the "Add or Remove Snap-ins" dialog
Click Console Root, Certificates, Personal, Certificates
from the directory tree on the left.
Delete Microsoft Windows Media Center Extender Host
certificate.
4) Are the XBox and the Vista machine in the same
subnet? 192.168.1.xxx or 192.168.2.xxx depending on your
DHCP settings?
5) Is this an upgrade or clean install. Some users
report problems with an upgrade.
6) Click Start, Run and enter SERVICES.MSC. Locate and
right click the Windows Media Center Extender Service
and select Start. You should also set the properties of
the service to Automatic.
7) On the Networking blade of the 360, is there an
alternate MAC address? If so, clear this out.
8) Do you have the McAfee Privacy Service (may be part
of a suite) installed? If so, uninstall it.
